Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 89 Send Message	Can anybody help with tracing ancestors in Ireland? I am really struggling. John Osborne born about 1795. Son called James who then moved to Scotland( I have all his details). Mother is named as 'Mary unknown surname' on James' death. James was born in Garvaghy in 1818, County Down and married Eliza Close

	Hmm, Have you tried PRONI'S freeholders records?, its the only thing I can think of at the moment, other than going down the free paged at Ulster Ancestry to see if there is anything that might help.................Barbara...........
